Joseph Ku, most recently the executive Asian chef at the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, Calif., will be the executive chef.

The casino said it's expanding its Asian offerings in part because of increased demand from its growing Asian clientele, and partly due to the success of Noodles, a casual wok and noodle bar located near the casino's buffet.

As for the restaurant's name -- the characters pictured in the restaurant's logo, Lok Fu Xiao Guan, mean "happy fortune bistro," according to the casino spokeswoman.

Luk Fu joins a lineup of restaurants at the Hanover casino that now includes Bobby's Burger Palace, the Cheesecake Factory and the Prime Rib.
